TRON (TRX) is a decentralized blockchain-based operating system developed by the Tron Foundation and launched in 2017. Originally TRX tokens were [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20)\-based tokens deployed on [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/), but a year later they were moved to their own network.

Initially, the project was created with the aim of providing full ownership rights to makers of digital content. The main goal is to help content creators (who receive only a small part of the income) and encourage them with more rewards for their work. How: invite content consumers to reward content makers directly (without intermediaries like YouTube, Facebook or Apple).
